--------------------------------------------------

Lacy and Loretta Sweet, along with Uncle Ichabod, are busy planning a big, “resident appreciation” party for the Breezy Point Trailer Park residents and the Take Two Teepee Rental tenants.

Everything is moving along swimmingly until just days before the big party, part-time maintenance man, Ted Tuttle, discovers a dead body in the trailer park's pool.

They soon discover that the deceased is a local and one of Misery, Mississippi’s business owners. Authorities suspect foul play and immediately blanket the entire clubhouse swimming pool area with crime scene tape.

Will the Sweet sisters, along with Uncle Ichabod, solve the mystery before their residents move out in a panic or will the fatal frolic cause their business to go belly up?

    I enjoyed the book. I am from Mississippi and there is one word you used that I have never liked "gal". To me it is degrading.

    I enjoy all your books and fixing to start the Savannah series.

    I stumbled across this series by accident, but I was pleasantly surprised. Uncle Ichabod was my favorite character and I can’t wait to read more from this author.

    I'm hoping there are more books in the series available right now as I'm really enjoying the series. Of course, if people in that small town keep dying off, there won't be much of a town left.
    In this book though, it seems Ernies son might show up to step into his father's footsteps. There's still too many stories to read.
